Actually, The Secret of Kells was more Irish than Belgian, wasn't it? On the subject of Japan, I basically agree with you. I'll be reading a Murakami novel and enjoying it not because it's from Japan, but because I love Murakami's work and he mentions The Great Gatsby fairly often in Norwegian...

"Whenever I smell asphalt, I think of Maureen. That's the last sensation I had before I blacked out; that thick smell of asphalt. She said she'd fix my bike. Free. No strings attached. I shoulda've known then that things were never that simple. Yeah, when I think of Maureen, I think of two...

As a gay person who isn't transphobic at all, I think it's a bit silly to assume a broad group of people have certain worldviews simply as a result of being attracted to the same or both sexes. I also don't identify as being part of the "LGBT community" at all though, so what the hell do I know?

I'm a horrifying lurker. This guy, though: That post count with that join date is the greatest thing I have seen all day.

Hello, didn't see you there. "Newsreaders still feel it is worth a special and rather worrying mention if, for instance, a crime was planned by people 'over the Internet'. They don't bother to mention when criminals use the telephone or the M4, or discuss their dastardly plans over a cup of...

I'll lay it on the line here: You might think you want to be the guy. But you don't. Many good men and women have died on that quest. Others have had their minds destroyed. Me? I just ran. Also, what's this all about? An ad instead of a regular captcha? Is nothing sacred? OT: To own a portal...

Three external HDDs, an unread copy of Dune that's been staring me down for several years, my notebook, my iPod, my phone, a fetching hat, a... Sorry, a... Thread won. Anyway, a copy of Scott Pilgrim volume six that I've been about to start reading for two days now, and my friend's cat. He...

...Isn't that kind of disproportionate retribution? I mean, he could just use ManyCam or whatever to replace it with a humorous gif. Is Huckleberry Finn really disagreeable content? I don't really see why it would be considered that. In conclusion, is there any particular reason for 238U...

Games are illegal? Mother of god. OT: Yeah, I'm pretty sure they can do that. As for whether they should be able to, I'm not sure. They have a right to make sure people aren't wasting time, but their method is unreasonably invasive. Couldn't they just block the sites they're worried about...

Once when I was 14, I got in trouble for being gay. And I don't mean being actively so (if you catch my drift), I mean I got in trouble because a teacher overheard a conversation a friend and I were having at lunch about my boyfriend at the time. I got five days after-school detention for...

I do, quite regularly in fact. My first ever one involved flying, predictably. My most recent one was quite an interesting affair, however. It took place in a strange world that seemed to be governed by game mechanics and systems, with everyone in the world fully aware of this. Like a much more...

I probably shouldn't even post in this thread, because there is a huge risk of me devolving completely into a horrible flame monster, so I'll try and make this quick. The point is to make your own fun. It's like Garry's Mod, or Will Wright's games. And, I guess, Dwarf Fortress or whatever game...

Looks pretty much the same as Demon's Souls, so it probably won't be that surprising to me the first time I take one step out of a door and a dragon kills me instantly. I love that game, and I'll probably love this one too, but I can tame this world. The first has made me into a man.

Alright, tha- Oh, piffle. Oddly, it seems that the graphics card is now called by this name: Integrated Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X4500 Graphics (Department of Redundancy Department). Will this have unfortunate consequences for Batman, as he... As... Yeah, I don't know where I was...

OK, first of all, I don't care about graphics. I don't care what res I'll have to run it in. I want to know if this PC will run Crysis (Crysis used only as a benchmark here, I don't really like the game much) at a playable frame rate on any settings. Dell Inspiron 560: Intel® Core? 2...
